The Pesach Seder.
The word 'seder' literally means 'order'. During the seder we recount the story of the Exodus which is an integral part of the holiday. Conducting the Seder ceremony is in keeping with the command (Exodus ch.12 and 13) to celebrate the Exodus on the night of Passover and to retell the events.
It's not a prayer. In the Haggadah, which is used for the seder, there is the story of the Exodus which we read.
At the Seder meal we retell the story of the Exodus from Egypt.
The oldest family member is supposed to read the story of the Exodus during the seder. For the meal part, the oldest man is responsible for reciting certain blessings.
The Seder is the first night of Pesah (Passover, 18-25 of April 2011). At this night all Jews are obligated to tell the story of the Exodus from Egypt (which occurred some 3500 years ago). Usually the older tell the younger the story if the Exodus but also discuss it with each other.
The word 'seder' means 'order' and refers to the religious service held inside the home the first night of Passover in Israel and the first two nights of Passover outside of Israel. The significance of the seder is that it it fulfilling a commandment set by HaShem (The Creator) telling Jews that they must retell the story of the Exodus every year during the holiday of Passover. During the seder, the story of the Exodus is read, symbolic food is eaten as part of the ceremony, prayers are recited, and a large meal is eaten.
The ritual feast in the evening of the first two nights of the holiday of Passover is called a Seder. The Seder is based on the Biblical commandment to the Jews to retell the story of the Exodus from Egypt: "You shall tell your child on that day, saying, 'It is because of what the LORD did for me when I came out of Egypt.'" (Exodus 13:8) Seders are often done in the home with family and friends, or the Seder can be in a more public place.
In truth, during the Pesach seder, Moses isn't mentioned. That's because we're supposed to focus on what happened, not Moses's involvement. During the seder, the story of the the exodus is read.
The exodus from Egypt. The highlight of Passover is the Seder meal, called the Passover (Pesach) Seder, which is of great importance in Judaism. It is a 3325-year old continuous tradition that began on the night of the Exodus from Egypt (see Exodus chapter 12), and is fully detailed in our ancient Oral Traditions (Talmud, perek Arvei Pesachim). The Seder meal is one of those occasions, like Yom Kippur and Hanukkah, that Jews all over the world, Orthodox and non-Orthodox alike, have in common. During the Seder, we keep the essential mitzva and customs of handing Jewish traditions down to the next generation, with the traditional Seder foods and the ceremony of reading the Passover Haggadah which retells the events of the Exodus.
The Seder plate is a special plate used during the Passover Seder meal in Jewish tradition. It holds symbolic foods that represent various elements of the Exodus story and the Jewish people's journey to freedom. Common items on the Seder plate include bitter herbs, a roasted shank bone, a mixture of fruits and nuts, and a boiled egg.
We follow the order of the seder as outlined in a haggadah (the book that contains the service and story of Passover.
